It's so hard modifying language, especially for the IM generation who's used to wysiwyg, writing as you talk communication.
Across generations makes it even harder. I once called a bully a "jock" in the principal's office, and in his generation, the term was "jock-strapper" and he took offense. He kept saying, "watch your mouth, young lady" and I was like What the heck is this guy talking about??
You neeeeeever knooooow.
~nelly~ I am sorry if I offended anyone with my above example.
